when you see robots acting as servers and can face, they're typically replacing human employees. but there's a cafe in japan that does things differently. the robots here enable people with disabilities to take part in work life, but remotely from their own homes. when customers talk to these little robots, they're not talking to in the i system that's talking to a real person. like for me, cormier, she controls the robot from home. she's one of about 50 people with physical mental disabilities working as robot. our prices up to one cafe in tokyo, japan. she takes customers oldest through the robots and makes recommendations. the bigger robots themselves of food and drinks. the idea is to give people who companies the homes due to health reasons, but want to what the opportunity to do. so. ready again, so you've got as long as on the lives of them,

i want to give something back to the community by working and then you go kind of getting. thank you buddy. you're moving on this meet your mike says he talks to his customers about everything from his health to the weather. oh, you put a menu dirty for that. i feel happy if i can be a part of society. she wants to go to go go. the more he must read, he may wrote books are equipped with a camera microphone and speaker allowing customers to talk directly to the operations. hold on me to get you over to you mean customers don't really come here to see a reason. they wouldn't come in and we'll go and they come here because of the people behind the we have a speech and they will come back to see them again. and the cafe is operated by or a level retreat. the tech stalls up develops. robots like really made to come about loneliness. the technology helps breakdown battery is for people with disabilities . don't cafe brings people with and without disabilities together. a 1st step to what grades are inclusion. assistive technology refers to products, but

a people who, for example, can't hear or see, or who are missing a body part. the market for this kind of tech is huge because more than the 1000000000 people worldwide live with some form of disability, like jessica smith from australia. she was born with i've left for arm. the former paralympic swimmer is now a disability awareness advocate and relies on the help of technology. i'm not trying to hide who i am, i'm adding and sort of expanding on who i am as a pass and by being able to access technology that's never been available before her high tech prosthetic link operates using artificial intelligence and can learn 14 different groups. this next clip of jessica smiths grocery shopping, demonstrates just how well this tech works and action. so truly

so i have 3 children, a 6 year old, a 4 year old and a 2 year old and they all the kids are very excited about it. i think it's amazing that i'm my coffee and hoffer. i bought a few even half robots display on it. prosthetic can give off that impression. the device converts electrical impulses from the upper arm muscles into finger booth, with a special after associates group patterns with certain muscle movements juices can configure with themselves at home. we are allowed technicians to do it remotely. so we've tried to building the technology which allows it to connect to the hand anyway, basically in a world unchanged configuration of the device instantaneously on the fly for the customer. the sensor bracelets is being tested at the university of sydney and australia is designed to detect the slightest movements of attendance which controlled huns the supper movements and then transmitted by a bluetooth to

a program. who taught you a copy of the tunnel like that and move your fingers a little bit. you will see tiny vibrations happening in your wrist. and this, that's how our party moves so fingers. so all the sensor actually pick up those vibrations and be especially learning any i to make sense of those vibrations to figure out which finger is moving and how much due to a medical condition area and shot has limited mobility in his left hand. he's testing the sensor bracelets by playing simple computer games. this movements are interpreted into the game. it's a lot less movement that you need to use it though it's best to august, how you can make me a bit more functional with my left hand. like, especially for all computers perspective, like studying and using it all day. there are many projects around the world focused on the sense of touch at the university of preston buquet. researchers are

working on simulating the different layers of human skin to allow robots to have a real human touch. disc come in handy for making future prosthetics. we 3 d, print that similar structure intel out off efficient skin so that it can respond cold tasks in a similar way to take human skin. but instead of having know if i things, we instead mounts a camera in sight, the sensor where you can see the cable make something here. so that picks up not stop listening, supposed to feel like the structures inside this office visual skin. so cameras are being used to simulate human touch. what a fascinating approach. cameras are also used as a tool for people who are blind or have low vision. take this scheduled for example . it can be attached to glasses. users can turn in the direction of the given text and either give a voice command or press their finger down to have it read aloud. the i can be

trained to recognize certain products and faces to the development of these devices often involve the same technology that's used in other sectors like autonomy, us driving. the technology that's used to keep a ton of miss vehicles on the road is also useful for pedestrians. this 5 had got just helps blinds and people with low vision navigate the cities. the cameras imbedded in the device detect obstacles within a 170 degree angle woman uses with 3 d sounds. mentioned that like this, if an object is moving towards the user and there's the risk of a collision bypass warren's done with a sound. similar to parking assisted modern cars. if there's an object on your left, you'll hear the obstacle on your left on side to sounds indicate where the obstacle is. there a different sounds depending on whether it's a call cause an open steps in the way the defendants as the bypass, as

a supplement to a walking stick with one big advantage it wounds uses about obstacles. that head level to this smoke gadget has 7 of features, but instead it attaches to a classic walking stick. we walk, uses ultrasonics tense isn't vibrate. so when there are obstacles nearby uses can connect the device to the phone by a bluetooth and then use the touch pad to access google maps and virtual assistant all while keeping the photon tucked away. a smart walking stick. that's cool. and for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, they're a smart glasses. they neighbor users to read conversations in real time. by converting spoken words into subtitles. diana martin is deaf. she's trying on smart glasses for the 1st time with a friend. jacqueline press from x ray glass, can you see anything while i'm talking to you,

cuz this is a new way of being able to communicate it on the include the picture. the idea behind this tech is one that's already well known for movies, sometimes links. but these augmented reality classes convert spoken words into text and projected instantaneously. this enables spoken conversations to be more inclusive to death. people. as the founder of death kids international steve croup explains. i might not quite catch everything, but this has given me a real time now a test which enables me to be informed. it may lead to be involved in with me to make decisions because i know what is being said. voice recognition algorithms quickly converts spoken language into readable text, which i think that audio stream from the microphone on the gloss as we're running through a piece of transcription software, which users have probably seen before and the ability to set audio and say,
8:26 pm
so captions. well wait, during that we spend taking those captions. i'm putting them in say open to the reality of impact system, the connect to your connected death. people with sign language interpreters via video call. the interpret spoken language into sign language and sign language and speech. this helps staff people lead more independence lives nato for the cause, our back interview, opening an account problem with any account hosted those scenarios, some emergency scenarios where uh, communication is very important. of course, communication is crucial and creating a society that's more inclusive to people with disabilities. and communication can happen through music to american dance. a robert wexler aims to make music accessible to all people, no matter their physical or mental capabilities. well says everyone could dogs and

even the slightest movement produced a sound that was the goal american dumpster roman wexler, set for himself in developing the motion composer. it's been a minor with this, or i believe we're all dancers, world musicians. and that's the principle behind the motion composer. think about it, enables us all to experience those instincts on people with all capabilities mentioned it. either phase type ready, back in the mid 19 seventy's, robert wexler began experimenting with motion tracking in new york. you recall the dumpsters movements using body centers and then convert to the movement data into sounds that lead the foundation for the motion composer which create sounds based on people's gestures. to achieve this, a 3 d camera film, the person's movements software then converts to sequences into corresponding

sounds. the system detects even the smallest motions. the motion composes used in therapeutic clinics and increased of schools. many are moved by the ability to express themselves autistic lead through movement in my sunray and most people are overcome with emotions, enjoy it. it's not unusual to see people crying, their workshops via tears of joy and bounce of workshops, arthritis as a don. so robert wexler has often stood in the spotlight with the motion composed though she's created a stage for people who are 2 of them, overlooked. i last seen technology act as an aide for people to better express themselves. and if it helps people with disabilities feel more secure, confident, and included in society, we've made a small step of progress. what kind of tools would you want friday? and let us know. so your next time the
